Music lovers were still glowing over the distinguished performance of Ethel Bartlett & Rae Robertson when two debutant Russian pianists sat down at pianos in Town Hall and played with such breathtaking clarity, such subtle and unanimous changes of pace, that New Yorkers cheered again...
When George Moriarty, embattled mentor of the American League, gave an address recently, he kept up an unceasing pace, walking to and fro on the platform before his audience, remarking that "its harder to hit a moving object with a pop bottle than a stationary one."
